| IRS990/Desc | 0 | Production of a weekly print newspaper of 16-24 pages, with distribution of 3,500-4,000, depending on the season. We covered news and events for dozens of local nonprofit organizations, businesses, and local government entities and provided an affordable promotional platform for this same range of organizations. We also distributed inserts in the weekly paper for the Town of Carbondale, the local public high school's student newspaper (Roaring Fork High School "Rampage"), and local nonprofits such as Carbondale Arts and Dance Initiative. These are our main program activities, all very much in service to our educational mission. |
